Reply to comment by Trackmaster15 in Why Roman Egypt was such a strange province by oni64

That is the sort of question any decent historian or archeologist ponder.

But I'll also say that it is more in popular science that Egypt is the greatest civilization of all time. That goes back to when the ancient Egyptian culture was rediscovered. It was the first to be studied scholarly to any degree which is why Egyptology was an entire field of study, but not Indus-Valley-Civilizationology
